Over the weekend they continue cold and bad weather and in some areas they will also arrive light snowfall. In fact, a trough of Arctic origin is arriving in Italy which will determine a destabilization of atmospheric conditions: the intrusion of cold air from the north-east will lead to a decrease generalized of temperatureswith values ​​expected to decline below average seasonal. An atmospheric condition that will characterize the entire end of April. Antonio Sanò, founder of the site www.-, confirms the drop in temperatures due to the influx of polar air from Scandinavia with the continuation of the wave of bad weather that has already hit Italy. The first burst of colder and more unstable air will leave the country over the next few hours, causing further damage thunderstorms in the South. “We will have – he states – some residual snowfall up to 1100 meters on Abruzzo and Molise, then the weather in the center will improve almost everywhere, while in the north the sun will continue to shine.” The weekend, however, will see the arrival of a second cold pulse from Northern Europe which will reignite the storms especially in the central regions. More snowfall is expected in the Apennines and rain also in the southern peninsula and Emilia Romagna. On Sunday morning the bad weather will again affect Marche, Abruzzo and Molise with phenomena even intense. The anomalous cold will favor further widespread snowfalls in the central Apennines up to around 1200 meters and heavy snowfalls in the Piedmont Alps. But let’s see in detail the weather forecast for Italy from the Air Force meteorological service.
